Featuring traditional Gabbeh motifs with a more modern look, these rugs are so cozy they make you want to curl up and take a nap. Often with thick frame borders, like a painting, the original gabbehs were thick, soft rugs with abstracted worlds, populated with people and animals, wheatfields and sky, amidst an abyss of saturated, dappled monochrome. The rich color sense of these rugs, along with their idiosyncratic geometric details, bely a wild sophistication the abstract expressionists would kill for.

Deep, varied reds range from strawberry to bordeaux, punctuated with delicate chessboard motifs.

Wool is a stalwart rug fiber, and has been since the first weavers. Warm, soft, and strong, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. In this piece, it's hand-loomed onto a foundation of mildew-resistant polyester and sturdy cotton for added durability.

We partnered with a small, family-run weaving house known for their flatweave expertise. They're Craftmark-certified, which means they meet stringent national standards for socially responsible handmade products. Many of their weavers have been with them for as long as 30 years. To visit their factory is to be steeped in its personal history, from the walls of photographs honoring their lineage, to the majestic, hundred-year-old timber looms they still use today.

Our in-house, all-star design team works across Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai. Starting with the weave itself, they determine the collection material, technique, and mood. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and hue before it goes to production.
